A few years ago, there was a run of documentaries about various Lakers and Celtics teams, each project featuring some selection of identical talking heads, giving the impression that there must’ve been a junket somewhere with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Shaq, Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan and a few others sitting in hotel rooms, being visited by a procession of directors asking about the same iconic playoff games and historical intersections. The documentaries felt separate, but the same. More recently, it’s happened again with all things Saturday Night Live. There were four short docs released under the SNL50 banner, plus…
According to Gold Derby’s current predictions, Laurie Metcalf is expected to receive a Best Featured Actress in a Play nomination for Death of a Salesman at this year’s Tonys.

Hannah Harper is making a habit of this. Following Monday’s “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night” episode of American Idol, Hannah’s performance of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” earned a staggering 41% of the vote, by far her most dominant showing yet and her fourth straight week atop our fan poll.

Courtesy of Fox In the early days of television, film was expensive and recording technology was limited, so many TV programs were aired live. By the 1990s, however, most sitcoms were recorded in advance — often in front of a studio audience — and edited before broadcast, giving actors, producers, and crew more room for error. One show, however, took a retro approach for its second season. Several cast members of “Roc” had stage experience, and an experimental live episode in Season 1 proved to be a ratings juggernaut. Producers decided that the entire second season would be presented live, and…
